My results for the #JoyousJanuaryReadathon . Met some goals, still working on others. Enjoyed my reading time. Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65 . Your readathons always help me to be more intentional about my reading. 👍

Wow what a great read! Three stories which start off as separate but gradually the reader begins to work out why & how they are connected. They are all set in a post-apocalyptic future when an infection known as Choler has wreaked havoc on civilisation leaving many people dead, the uninfected living in seclusion, & the infected who survive either become outcasts known as Whistlers (due to the noise from the damage to their lungs).

Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 !!

In British maritime history of the late 18th century, few events captured the public's imagination more than the Mutiny on the Bounty. There have been at least two films made & these positioned Fletcher Christian as standing up against a cruel Captain (actually Lieutenant on this voyage). This book, based on records & testimonies from the court martials etc, argues that far from being cruel, (Continued)

Thinking about this time in history gives me the chills. I remember that image on tv where King and his compatriots are standing on the small balcony of a motel room moments before he is killed. Dyson does an in-depth analysis of Martin‘s speeches, his fears, his visions, and their relationship to politics and religion. It is a fact that the FBI made MLK‘s and his family‘s lives a living hell.

A compelling read that underscores human frailty and character flaws, the author uses Philly, PA, (the Kensington opioid area) as the setting. If you like Tana French, you‘ll love this. It‘s very well done and until the end, you‘re never sure who‘s the victim and who‘s the perpetrator…

Romance and Mystery makes for a great book. This was the first in 'The Society of Single Ladies' Series. If you like Historical Fiction with romance and mystery, then this book is for you.

Only the second book I have read for #JoyousJanuaryReadathon @Andrew65

#goodreads ARC finally read🙃

After reading the wonderful 'The Deception of Harriet Fleet' by the same author, I thought it would be a difficult act to follow. I needn't have been concerned, as although this takes place in a different era & a completely different subject, it was just as good. The story takes place just after the 'Great War' (WWI) & Scarlett aptly conveys the grief & the guilt felt by those who survived. (Continued)
